  • Mood: Distracted
  • Listening to: deku palace
  • Watching: L&O SVU
  • Drinking: cherry limeade

I just realized that most of my gallery is school related work...! :noes:
I intend to remedy this soon.

Once I get more personal work up I'll be taking commissions :)

Hope everyone is doing well :la:
Til then here's a meme!


Your name?
Steph

If possible, your age?
22 nooo

When did you start drawing?
Ever since I was small- I started taking it seriously when I was about 13.

Which hand do you use for drawing?
Left

Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Boobs and hips are far more fun to draw.

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Long hair...so flowy!

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
I usually draw facing the right for some reason. Probably because of my left handed ness.

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front!

What do you have problems in drawing?
Really technical stuff like buildings and machinery.

What do you like to draw?
If it's cute, I love it! Even if it's ugly I can make it cute.

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
I would love to be a digital mastermind but traditional will always be my best medium.

Where do you start drawing from?
Top left...stupid habit, being left handed.

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
I will draw for ten minutes, and then take a ten minute break. Rinse and repeat. I also tend to work on a couple of things at work to keep myself from getting bored.

What do you keep in mind when you do lineart?
I don't do lineart, really.

Any tips for coloring/shading?
Pay attention to shading and coloring in real life. Subtle tricks like atmospheric perspective, back lighting and neighboring colors can make all the difference in a picture. Know actual color theory, shadows are not just darker sections of that color.

How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
I've shoved stuff out in a couple of hours, and spent a better part of a month on a single painting. It really just depends!

What music do you listen to while you draw?
Whatever I'm into at the moment. Right now it's Vocaloid stuff and video playlists! (4PP and Zelda walkthroughs...) I actually like just listening to videos without watching them...I can't do that with TV though for some reason. (Probably because I've seen every video on my playlists about 9000 times.)

How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Sometimes forever, sometimes instantly at the most random times. I feel most inspired when I'm doing lots of things and not paying attention to drawing.

Your favorite drawing utensils?
Pencils, ink pens (mostly signo and fountain pens)

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Any neutral hues, like blue, green, red, brown, grey, etc. Those are my favorite colors but I tend to just use whatever the picture needs instead of constantly keeping up a style.

Your favorite style(s)?
Simple and cute with a lot of texture! Anything done in watercolor (there are so many ways to stylize that instead of having the traditional flowers-in-a-pot look!) Anything really interesting that pushes the envelope or that is really stylized. Artists like, [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] , :iconporkbun:, :iconerilu:, :iconmuura:, :iconmuttiy:... There's really no limit to what I like to look at though.

Are you satisfied with your current art?
Never! It's what makes me want to keep improving.

What kind of artist are you aiming for?
Someone who can at least make some living at what she loves doing. Getting paid to draw cute things.

:heart:
